Hi.
I'm renting an apartment in NY and when things break, if it's not too expensive, I prefer to fix them myself. More often than not, the "handyman" that shows up if I call my landlord, does more harm than good. :down:
So this time, the hot water handle for the bathroom faucet broke off. Literally broke off in my hand as I was turning it.
I bought replacement handles, removed the cap and screw of the old handles, but when I tried to remove the current ones they wouldn't budge. Neither hot, nor cold.
I did a bit of research online and found that there is a tool called a Faucet Handle Puller, that is meant to help with exactly this task of pulling off stuck handles. I plan to get one, but I'm not sure if this will help pull off the knob left of the broken handle.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks
